RE: Toshiba laptop charging problem
It sounds like bad battery, but there is also some possibility of failed charging circuitry inside the laptop (this could be a separate board or on the motherboard). I wish you had posted before wasting money on the AC adapter, as that would've been easy to rule out.
If the laptop is under warranty, you should have it looked at to rule out an internal charging circuit problem and confirm it really is the battery. However, it is likely that the battery itself (if you need one) won't be covered under the warranty regardless. Batteries are like tires on a car -- they wear out from normal use and are usually covered for no more than 3-6 months.
